Blue & Hot Pink Zebra Bedding Ideas

Go Neutral

• With bedding as flashy as a blue-and-hot-pink zebra print, limiting the rest of the room to a neutral color palette may be a good idea. It lets the bedding serve as the room’s focal point and prevents the space from looking too busy. The room’s wall color is particularly important since it covers the largest area in the space. Try pairing your blue and hot pink zebra print bedding with plain white walls to create a sharp contrast between the bold bedding and crisp, clean walls. If white seems too stark, a cream or beige shade can work as well. You can even have your white paint tinted with a slight hint of pink or blue, so the white is softened and the bedding’s color is picked up in certain light.

Go Bold

• While pairing a neutral wall color with blue-and-hot-pink zebra bedding is the safe way to go, you can also go out all and choose a bolder color scheme that is wild and funky. Instead of white or cream, paint your walls with a blue or hot pink shade that matches the bedding. You can even alternate the colors on each of the four walls or use one color all over the walls and the other to create pinstripes for an even more whimsical look. If the shades in your bedding are too bright for your taste, try using a blue or pink color that is a shade or two lighter for a look that’s still colorful, yet monochromatic.

Keep It Simple

• Since blue-and-hot-pink zebra bedding is bold enough on its own, it usually helps to keep the rest of the room’s design relatively simple. Instead of incorporating other patterns in the space, let your zebra print bedding be the star of the room by using solid colored elements in the rest of the design. Using solid pieces doesn’t mean that you have to stick neutrals, though. You can work other bright colors into your room to create a dimensional look. With blue and hot pink, try adding some purple pieces -- both royal purple and lilac can create an attractive look with the blue and pink. Even some pops of yellow can help brighten up the space.

Mix Patterns

• While blue-and-hot-pink zebra bedding is a bold pattern, you don’t necessarily have to shy away from other patterns in your room. For a fun look, try finding other blue and hot pink animal prints, like leopard or cheetah, that you can use for accessorizes in the room, such as throw pillows and curtains. If you don’t want to add other animal prints, try a whimsical polka dot or striped pattern to add some variety to the room’s look. However, to avoid a chaotic, busy look, keep the other patterns limited to small areas in the room, such as a valance, fabric bulletin board or throw rug.
